Koach von Windmill Born: 1/31/05 Put to rest 5/19/06 Treat them like they are animals. Train them like they are animals. Love them like they are people.

I was following your posts, too, and I know how much you put into that decision. I am always grateful that we have that ability to give our friend a painless end.

Terry Devine Webboard User Reg: 03-30-2005 Posts: 240 Loc: Florida Offline	Thanks to all of you and those who have sent private messages. My wife and children and I are all deeply saddened and we are deep into the grieving process. Thank you all for the kind words and all of the support. Koach was a birthday present from my wife who was deathly afraid of big dogs. I waited a life time to get him and it hurts so bad to lose him so quickly. Koach taught my wife a lesson on how loving, affectionate and protective big dogs can be. She is already making plans for us to get another GSD. The Vet's office was wonderful and Koach went peacefully in my arms. No fear, no concerns, no worries. He was a good boy until the end. Again thanks for all the support. Terry Treat them like they are animals. Train them like they are animals. Love them like they are people.

One thing that helps the grieving process is to make a memory book. Include a few of his favorite toys, his collar and, if you have any, put a little of his hair in an envelope and put that in the book. Have each family member write about some special time or thing they remember. If your kids are too young to write, have them draw pictures and tell you what to write to go with their illustrations.
